MT6 Barge (Elliot Bay, Seattle)

Had a weekend of diving in Seattle, and we managed a dive on a barge that sank after a collision in 1950

It was originally a wooden ferry, I think named The City of Tacoma Ferry (or Just Tacoma Ferry?) then was converted into a barge.

One end is still pretty intact but there is a lot of breakdown on the other end.

Vis was pretty cruddy, but the video seemed to come out not too bad in comparison.

great vid!

You use HD/Quicktime? What format/rate/etc.etc did you use to load to the internet? It seems to load pretty fast for HD.

Thanks!!
